چکیده انگلیسی
We have demonstrated that SC-435, an apical sodium codependent bile acid transporter (ASBT) inhibitor, lowers plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentrations in guinea pigs. The purpose of this study was to further examine the hypocholesterolemic effects of SC-435, by measuring the activity and RNA expression of regulatory enzymes of hepatic cholesterol and lipoprotein metabolism. In addition, the use of a combination (COMBO) therapy with simvastatin, a 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor, was also tested. Male Hartley guinea pigs were randomly allocated to one of three diets (n=10 per group), for 12 weeks. The control diet contained no ASBT inhibitor or simvastatin. The monotherapy diet (ASBTi) contained 0.1% of SC-435. The COMBO therapy consisted of a lower dose of SC-435 (0.03%) and 0.05% simvastatin. Cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP) and HMG-CoA reductase mRNA abundance were determined using RT-PCR techniques. Hepatic HMG-CoA reductase and cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7) activities were measured by radioisotopic methods. Compared to the control group, CETP activity was 34% and 56% lower with ASBTi and COMBO, respectively. Similarly, CETP mRNA expression was reduced by 36% and 73% in ASBTi and COMBO groups, respectively. Cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase and HMG-CoA reductase activities were increased â¼2-fold with ASBTi and COMBO treatments, respectively. Likewise, HMG-CoA reductase mRNA expression was increased 33% with ASBTi treatment. These results suggest that both SC-435 monotherapy and combination therapy lower LDL cholesterol concentrations by altering both hepatic cholesterol homeostasis and the intravascular processing of lipoproteins in guinea pigs.
